Description
This set of activities is designed to help students: better understand the concept of respect, practice identifying what respect looks like in various situations, and reflect and share on their own opinions and experiences with respect. The ultimate goal is to help develop more respectful students and a more respectful classroom and school community by choosing to treat one another respectfully as fellow human beings! *Now includes options for virtual learning/distance learning including Google Slides (TM)
These activities can be done all together in one long lesson, broken up into several shorter lessons or community circle activities, or selected to use as needed with specific individual or group students.

CASEL (Social Emotional Learning) Competencies
Respect is one of the most important elements of any environment or community but it can be subjective. This resource helps students understand respect and come to a common understanding of it by providing numerous examples and differentiated opportunities to practice their understanding independently or in small groups. The puzzles and sorting cards provide for a collaborative and hands-on/tactile approach while the worksheets allow for independent thinking and reflection.

What others are saying...
“This lesson turned out to be incredible for students, myself, and even teachers. My students were so engaged and passionate about this (I was not expecting that)! It lead to some amazing group discussion. I was floored at how much my 4th graders needed to talk about this! Even teachers were pulled into the conversation and wanting more resources on respect. Huge compliment to the creator of this lesson!”
“This is thorough, and has the ability to be used across PowerPoint and Google Slides, as well as in-person and online, which is WONDERFUL! Thank you!”
“Great activities to use with students to really get them thinking about the meaning of respect and what it looks like in different situations. Used mostly with grade 3, but also used a few activities with a grade 6 class that needed reminders about respect and they were very engaged.”
